Utah's Prehistory Week 2013

Utah's Prehistory week begins May 4, 2013 with activities taking place throughout the state. This archaeological focus takes place each May around the same time. In the past we have went to the opening celebration at the Rio Grande station in Salt Lake City where they had tons of free activities going on including many for the kids. We have also traveled out to Wendover where they have done field trip tours of Danger Cave (cave with evidence of ancient Indian existence)...which I noticed is not being offered as an event as of now.

This year our ideal plan is to travel to Price, Utah and visit their Prehistoric museum, which is celebrating the beginning of prehistory week with a free family day. It usually costs around $5 so I am hoping this fee is waived for the day! I would also love to attend the Nine Mile Canyon field trip happening the following Sat. (May 11th), but it has been noted that it is an all day thing that I am afraid my kids would find tiresome.

We will possibly take our trailer and stay the night or stay overnight at Greenwell Inn which has been recommended by a friend who says her kids love the cool swimming pool there. They even have rooms with three queen beds which is much more accommodating for our family of six. (Priced at around $110)
